User Friendly is not enough!

Tomorrow morning I'm going to the Banff Centre in Canada to help run an event called 'Interactive Screen: User Friendly is not Enough!' Among other things, I'll be facilitating an Html Patchworkshop for up to 50 people. I've got 18 patches with me, and hope to find some more fabric in the Banff Centre costume department...

I agree that being 'user friendly is not enough' but what more is required? Who defines content, and who owns it? In short - how can participation lead to collaboration? All questions I am trying to explore through the Open Source Embroidery project.
